We are trying to get the JC Sharpshooters to help TD at JB. If they can help out,they will more than likely also bring their inventory for the players and spectators. If not, it will probably just be a club member TDing at JB. Unless the volunteer also has a trunkload of plastic, I doubt any official sales will be going on. Your best bet is to make it out to Endicott one of the days (Fri-Sun). The club inventory is going to be absolutely chock full of goodness! You won't be able to find a better selection anywhere in the city. My suggestion would be to come out on Sunday and check out the Pros play. They are there all day, so you will get to chek out some incredible DG skills displayed as well!

Team Sioux, a group of the younger generation of volunteers (that is right they are out there, kinda like a morrel mushroom) will assist the St. Charles Disc Gof Club in marking the out of bounds. This group consists of young guns led by the Williams Brothers, Chris Albenese, newly employed and not so much disc golfin Matt Radke, and at times the tumultous star Cory Uhle. At the helm Francis Albenses is mentoring their progression and are in for good times as the park leans towards 36 holes at the Sioux Passage complex. I look to see great things from this group of young volunteers endeared to giving back to disc golf what it has done for them!

The out of bounds will remain the same as it has been in previous years, but the narrower fairways will mean that the rough will impact your stance(if you have one). All of the natural "native grasses" are OB. We will lay lines with flags to identify the critical areas that need it, in this case probably more than last year as we are using longer and more technical pin placements this year at Sioux.

I was out at Sioux this morning and this layout is tough. I didn't get to play, but the placements are really in their tough positions. And, with the grass cut into fairways, rough and OB, there will be lots of circles to count up at this course during the Open. Hopefully, not on my card...

What's the word on the cave Friday night? Is there going to be a doubles event?
